I think medieval cosmology is a really interesting topic (I have a big interest in history of science), because C. S. Lewis was the only author I know that wrote sci-fi based on medieval cosmology and his book Discard Image is so good.

Caveman: hey, try to connect the stars in the sky and form shapes Other caveman: *points at a random constellation that looks like nothing but a badly peeled potato* look, that one looks like a goat Caveman: you're right

[@tomh281]

There's no need to be contemptuous of ancient civilisations for noting quite tenuous shapes in the sky. The very tendency of human beings to construct systems out of seemingly disordered appearances is precisely that which led to modern science in the first place. Modern astronomy itself would have no basis if it weren't for Babylonians and Greeks who mapped the stars and their motions diligently with the naked eye for hundreds of years, long before telescopes were invented. Also, saying that constellations resembled earthly things allowed people to memorise them better, and usually for practical purposes. Ursa major, for example, could easily be remembered by sailors and was used for navigation

Actually it was Copernicus who first thought the earth revolved around the sun and the Church accepted it as theoretically correct because it made about as much sense as the model they had (which they mostly just took from the ancient Romans) and the real issue with Galileo was that he kept criticizing the Pope even when he was working under him. In medieval society only a Court Jester is allowed to criticize a Monarch.

infact 100 ly across isn't even visible to our milky way. it's 1/2,000th the size of our galaxy, and 1/71,000 the size of the largest galaxy.

[@Flesh_Wizard]

100 light years across is comically small for a galaxy too. Some *star clusters* are larger

[@empireempire3545]

Claiming that our solar system is average is pretty off. First of all the sun is not average by far. It is in fact rather heavy. Most of the stars are red dwarfs. Second thing is, while we know that planets in general are popular, we have no idea how popular the small rocky planets in the inner core are. This is because the transit method is much better at detecting large, massive stars. Third, the models we have currently for planet formation suggest that the amount of water on earth is very, very strange. It cannot be the water the earth started with - it must have been brought afterwards, most likely by comets. But here is the fourth conundrum - to actually have life, a planet must be relatively well shielded from impacts, in our case by Moon, Jupiter and Saturn. If the global catastrophes like the one which eliminated the dinosaurs happened to often, life wouldn't have had enough time to rebuild itself, especially in the earlier stages. So the Earth was lucky to have JUST enough hits to bring the water back, but not too much, especially in later stages. Its a fine balance. But then is another point - most of the smaller, rocky planets in the galaxy are most likely tidally locked. Again, obviously, Earth is not. Then comes the zone of habitability - both solar and galactic. We are in the galactic rim, but most of the stars are in the core, which most likely isnt habitable for carbon-based life (if any other life is possible, which I as a molecular biologist, doubt. The chemistry is just against anything else). There are a lot of rare features in the solar system, and since probabilities stack multiplicatively, the cumulative probability is very, very low.

[@heuzame6198]

Yep we are rather unussual! Our star is heavier than 85% of all stars! Also our overall system structure is rare aswell as most known system either have hot Jupiter/neptune or no Jupiter and having a jupiter size (mass) body is really important. There even are more factors for life aswell althrough we dont know what a habitable planet really need to be habitable to any carbon based life - an ice moon might be good enough

I always thought that we are truly a really tiny part that consists a bigger one. Meaning we, not as species, but the observable universe could be an atom of a tree for example. Could be a nice plot twist to escape reality, by observing how it works bottom up. From a young age I loved reading about space from books (cause I didn't have the permission to use the internet), the concepts you went through, seemed so familiar. Nice video!

[@reddytoplay9188]

Pretty cool concept. A massive collection of veins called the tree where what we consider a universe (whole, not just observable) is just an atom or even a quark of a vein.

Note on the 'average'ness of Sol: it's in the top 5% of stellar masses -- 19 out of every 20 stars are less massive than our sun. That number is likely to increase as we discover more red and sub-red M, L, T, and Y type stars.
